Once while beginning an anesthetic, someone called over the intercom into the OR for me. I heard the OR secretary yell "She can't come to the phone right now, she's seducing the patient". That would be inducing. Although both result in sleep, they should not be confused.

Man, that would make SUCH a fucking amazing "Family Circus" cartoon! I TOTALLY see Dolly looking up with that adorable expression on her face and saying something like "Teacher says my behavior in class lately has been erotic." Fucking comedy GOLD! Why do all the good ideas come after I'm too fucking dead to draw them??? Oh, well, back to the fucking fire and brimstone...

Both sub-species cruise nursing homes looking for hook-ups, using shots of clear Benefiber as pick-up drink of choice. Well acquinted with the habits of their prey, they know all dates must start before 5 pm and end by 8 pm.
